The mathematician gave them a big laugh. He surrounded himself with several fences and said, "I am outside the fence now."
Reading such stories always makes people feel comfortable, because it is humorous and full of philosophy. The same material, different angles, created an incredible answer. Life is like this, so is writing. Sometimes the material has not changed, the thinking has changed, and the articles written will be brand-new.
Throughout recent years, high scores and even full marks in the senior high school entrance examination have a common feature: novelty. From content, language to structure, it has profound ideas, novel materials, ingenious ideas and unique genres. In other words, a good article depends on innovation. How to write a novel composition in just a few minutes is not only to cultivate students' writing quality and ability, but also to teach students to master some effective writing skills and methods in daily teaching.
First, the content is new.
For most students, life is mostly dull, and most of the writing materials come from these daily lives. How to guide students to change their perspective on familiar life materials (natural scenery, social life, growth experience, life perception, moral virtue, etc.). ), re-examine them and explore new problems and new meanings in their ordinary lives, which is the top priority of our composition teaching. To this end, I set up a number of composition topics according to the different angles of entry, mainly aiming at students' conception and material selection for orderly training, in order to improve the height and depth of students' conception and the novelty and novelty of material selection.
1. Do the opposite and seek novelty and difference.
It is to find another way, interpret the topic with reverse thinking and different thinking, put aside the conventional perspectives and viewpoints, dig deep and rich ideological connotations, and put forward new viewpoints.
For example, in 2007, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, took the senior high school entrance examination: What is happiness? Happiness is sometimes a kind of possession, sometimes a kind of waiting, sometimes a kind of touching. Harvest is a kind of happiness, and giving is also a kind of happiness; Success is happiness, and indifference to tranquility is also happiness ... In fact, happiness is around us, in every bit of our life, in every footprint on our growth path.
Please write a composition on the topic "This is happiness".
"This is Happiness" is a headline composition with a lead. There is no obstacle to the examination of the topic, and the selection of materials is even more important. If you want to write a novel composition, you can consider it from the following angles: ordinary articles will follow the questioner's intention and write something about happiness, such as owning, waiting and moving. If people follow the trend, they will inevitably deviate from the routine. If we find another way, we can use reverse thinking and divergent thinking to interpret the topic, explore its profound and rich ideological connotation and put forward new ideas, which will be refreshing. For example, people often don't like to give up, don't like failure, and don't like setbacks. But if they have a reverse idea: learn to give up, this is happiness; Growth in adversity is happiness and so on.
2. Big topics and small works are extraordinary
Focus on the selection of materials and ideas in a small and representative aspect, reflect the truth through small events, and achieve "a grain of sand to see the world." For example, "Beautiful Apple" (a perfect composition for the Beijing senior high school entrance examination in 2006) shows the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. The author conveys this virtue by peeling apples. An apple has built an emotional bridge for three generations, and the author's ingenuity can be seen. Taking this as an example, I designed the essay topic "A Little Thing" to guide students to observe, appreciate and think attentively, and to dig out the true meaning of life from everyday little things. The process of students' writing is also their mental journey of exploring the most shining spiritual quality in human nature and excavating the intriguing meaning in life.
3. From another angle, new ideas will appear.
Break through the routine, broaden your thinking and think from multiple angles, and your thinking will naturally be profound. For example, in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province in 2008, the composition "You are in My Heart" defined "you" as "China people", which jumped out of the general understanding and suddenly made people shine. Another example is composition training "respect". Most students will look to their parents, teachers, friends and others as soon as they see the composition questions, so the articles they write are often similar. Therefore, when I am guiding my composition, I ask students to change the angle of conception or material selection, broaden their horizons infinitely, and choose to write different objects: nature, music, literature, history and so on. Or, to be more specific, writing about the sense of respect gained from emotional communication with a literary figure, a historical figure or an animal and plant will naturally be full of new ideas.
4. Enlarge the details and introduce the running water.
Details often play a unique role in expressing the central theme of an article.
For example, the touching thing about the article "Beautiful Apples" lies in the details: the posture of mother peeling apples is beautiful. She calmly picked up the fruit knife and spun around the apple quickly. The peel is like a swallow touching the water, flying freely around the apple from time to time. In a short time, round apples appeared in front of us, perfect as a work of art. After peeling, my mother always peeled the apples one by one with a plate and handed them to grandma. At that moment, my mother's smiling eyes were so beautiful.
The action of "mother" peeling apples is described in detail, and words such as "turn", "point" and "fly" are used to express "mother's filial piety to the elders and her care for the younger generation is incisive.
Second, the beauty of language is rich.
In order to improve students' language expression ability quickly, I try to strengthen some skills and methods of tempering language through composition revision. First, guide students with examples of excellent compositions, so that students can modify their compositions according to the rules. Before and after each composition correction, I will ask students to modify the article according to one or more skills given. This kind of retouching composition revision training is also an effective way for students to write new compositions.
1. Indicate the main idea and take the lead.
The theme is the soul of the article. A good theme must be concise, literary and meaningful, such as the title, beginning or end of the article, giving a good first impression.
For example, in 2008, a perfect composition in Guilin, Guangxi, "When the wings are gradually full": In the sun, in the mountains, on the road of life, I saw my wings gradually full, and a spirit of fighting the storms of life gradually emerged at the high end of my heart. ...
It contains the truth of being a man, conveys the truth of being a man, and gives people profound enlightenment. In addition, famous sayings, ancient poems, popular songs or social hot topics can be used to summarize the theme, and rhetorical devices such as metaphor, contrast, exaggeration and contrast can also be used to light up the theme.
2. Clever philosophy, meaningful
Philosophical sentences are often the highlights and moving parts of a composition, which are often memorable. For example, "happiness means that difficulties bow to you and setbacks wave to you" "The waves can only be spectacular if they don't avoid the impact of rocks; Life does not reject the existence of regret, so that it can be enlightened. "Respect for others is a virtue, and being respected is a kind of happiness." If you extract philosophical quotations timely and properly in your composition, the meaning will be incisive and meaningful.
3. Rhetoric is flexible and colorful.
The flexible use of rhetoric can not only make the structure of the article look unique, but also add literary grace. The commonly used methods are comparison, parallelism, personification, metaphor, questioning, repetition and quotation.
For example, in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province in 2007, a perfect composition "China people walked by me": China people are a glass of wine in Li Taibai; Chinese is Cao Xueqin's dream and tears; China people are Lu Xun's wandering cry; Language is the winter in the north of Wan Li where snow and ice float in Wan Li; Language is the gentle breeze and drizzle in spring in Zhu Ziqing's works. China is the clearness and exquisiteness of Jinan in winter written by Lao She.
This paper combines the emotional world, literary attainments or famous sayings of several poets, writers and scholars in ancient and modern times, and uses various rhetorical devices to create a beautiful atmosphere between sentences, adding charm to the article.
Third, the structure is ingenious and changeable.
In the usual composition training, I focus on training students to write in a variety of styles and requirements, and master one or two styles of writing skillfully. When preparing for the exam, I consciously let students try some new writing methods. Through such training, students' compositions are enriched.
1. A line runs through and highlights the theme.
Content determines structure, and structure serves content. How to connect the complicated contents in series to serve the theme? The most effective way is to connect related materials with a clue to make them a whole. This is what we often call a clue. Clues can be people, things, things, the passage of time, the transformation of space, the development of logic and so on. For example, in the composition "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter with You", the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter runs through four unforgettable days: the first knowledge of spring-the promise of summer-the hot water bottle of winter, and the four seasons represent the heavy past and indelible friendship.
2. Fragment combination, literary thinking
Fragment combination integrates written materials from ancient and modern China and foreign countries, positive and negative aspects, and juxtaposes or interlaces several things or several sides of things around a theme. This way, the content is more substantial and the theme is more vivid.
For example, in 2006, the essay "The Beauty of Farewell" in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province got full marks: the beauty of Farewell is in the cold wind of Xiaojiang ... The beauty of Farewell lies in the generosity and tragedy of "a scholar dies for a confidant" ...
The beauty of farewell is on the bank of Miluo River ... The beauty of farewell lies in the sincere persistence of "seeking up and down" ...
The beauty of farewell, in the ocean of chrysanthemum flowers in the distant mountains ... the beauty of farewell, in the calm and quiet of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" ...
Examples in the form of parallelism are not only conducive to the layout of the article, showing the level of things, enhancing the appeal of the article and highlighting the theme of the article. And the example selects three typical historical figures, from Jing Ke, who died as a bosom friend, to Qu Yuan, who went up and down in search, and then to Tao Yuanming, who leisurely saw Nanshan under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums. The vivid picture seems to stand in front of us and be analyzed from different angles.
3. Imagine associations to attract readers
Teenagers have rich imagination and association, and playing well can create a novel and unique world. Looking at the world with childlike innocence, writing innocent and profound fairy tale fables, dramatic literature with sharp contradictions, and coincidental novels by means of metaphor, personification and symbol contain profound truth in simple and vivid stories. In addition, there are some recognized good writing forms in the examination room composition, such as solutions, product descriptions, civil complaints, advertisements, investigation reports, interviews, etc., which can also be used for reference.
